Solar panels are now one of the most indispensable items in camps for displaced people. And fuel for heating & cooking is one of the biggest necessities.

Yet energy is still not prioritized in most aid operations. We need to set up an “Energy Cluster” for all humanitarian action pic.twitter.com/jz2VRuGYe0

For millions of displaced people in the war zone in #Syria, renewable energy is not a luxury but a necessity

They’re using solar power for lighting, mobile phones, laptops, fridges, radios, TV sets, fans etc. We need more investment in low cost solutions for people like this pic.twitter.com/b6vPp3xpPZ

At the Global @ShelterCluster meeting in Geneva today, I said all the housing units we install in camps for displaced people should have large solar panels, like the ones shown here.

I proposed we set up a Global Energy Cluster for emergency response. Let’s make this happen! pic.twitter.com/ftc6UJL6eQ
